GTA 6 First Update Released Ahead of Launch
Rockstar is staggering the 1 GB update to reduce launch-day strain and may add more fixes before the game’s Nov. 19 release.
- On Friday morning, Rockstar Games released version 1.002 update for Grand Theft Auto to select PS5 users ahead of the Nov 19 launch. The patch allows players to prepare their consoles before the game goes live.
- To prevent server overload during launch, Rockstar is distributing the update in staggered batches rather than releasing it simultaneously to all users. This strategy reduces strain on infrastructure when unprecedented traffic arrives.
- The download is around 1 gigabyte in size, and Rockstar has not released official patch notes to avoid spoiling story details before the game's public release.
- Breaking pre-order records, Grand Theft Auto is expected to draw an unprecedented number of users simultaneously, prompting Take-Two to prepare infrastructure for potential launch-day traffic issues common with major titles.
- Meanwhile, Sony has released several patches for The PS5 to combat hackers jailbreaking consoles, while Microsoft Xbox services have faced widespread outages over the last week affecting platform stability.
